Motorola’s WLAN driving Wi-Fi for two busiest stations in Canada’s
largest city

December 10, 2013 11:30 AM Eastern Standard Time

SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Motorola
Solutions, Inc.(NYSE: MSI) and BAI Canada are working
together on a two-station installation of a shared Wi-Fi network using
Motorola’s proven wireless
local area network (WLAN) technology in Toronto Transit Commission
(TTC) underground subway stations. The initial two-station network
includes the St. George and Bloor & Yonge stations and will cover all
public areas including platforms, mezzanines, walkways and stairwells.
The deployment has the capability to support cellular connectivity, and
the network will eventually cover TTC’s 65 current and planned
underground subway stations, serving more than 1.7 million riders daily.

Motorola’s ruggedized outdoor wireless access points and controller
running Wireless Next Generation (WiNG) technology were selected by BAI
Canada based on Motorola’s leadership position in the transportation
vertical, proven radio performance in harsh environments and global
reach with local expertise. The Motorola WLAN solution for transit was
chosen in part for its previous successful subway deployments around the
world as well as the company’s recognized expertise providing reliable,
high-speed wireless networks in underground and other demanding, rugged
environments.

The networks will also offer high-speed connectivity for the internet,
social media, email and many web-based applications.

BAI Canada is building the robust Wi-Fi and cellular distributed
antenna system (DAS) within TTC’s two busiest stations, creating its
TCONNECT Wi-Fi brand with high-speed internet connectivity.

The fiber-optic lines installed for the two-station pilot alone equal
three times the height of the 1,815-foot CN Tower in Toronto.

The number of TTC riders that enter the busy Bloor & Yonge station
each day could fill the 50,000-seat Rogers Center multi-purpose
stadium in Toronto seven times over.
